Many a times we say or we think I will be happy if I get this or get that, I will be happy if I will achieve this goal, I will be happy if I get promotions, I will be happy if this deal happens.. but you know happiness never comes even if you achieve your set goals. A very famous buddhist quote which says "There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way." MY It's very important that what stories we tell ourselves.. because our brain works differently POINT OF and we are constantly finding an excuse for whatever is happening in our lives, we always blame it on to others or destiny or some situation for our dissatisfactions or failures. And this is the reason we never work towards the contentment what we can get. Once we VIEW achieve something our mind sets another set of goals and the stories related to happiness B Y R A H U L M E H T A which you had told to yourself will get reset to next goal, and life goes on like that but if you analyse where is the happiness? The answer is 'nowhere' !! Because we have never F O U N D E R | C E O | E D I T O R O F thought about happiness consciously, its only an illusion of happiness which we have B I K E R S C L U B & M A G A Z I N E created in our mind that if we will achieve something we will get happiness, and that's why majority of us lives like a robot in our life span, and when you think you have achieved everything in life and now you can find happiness but then your health is not supporting you, or you have become too old for somethings which is not possible physically now but it could have been possible when you were young.

In fact nobody ever thinks about the satisfactions which we can get from small small things. It is true that in this competitive world it is necessary to work towards your material goals but we never asks ourselves that what really we want? And what we are here for?

Our average life span is about 80 years, and in these life span time what really we do, lets see that.

0 ------10 ------20 ------30 ------40 ------50 ------60 ------70 ------80

Till the age of 20 we spend our time for studying, and from 20 to 65 our life is spend on work and earning money, and after retirement we spend our most of the time in hospitals or with with some other old aged friends remembering our work days. But can you remember how many days you were actually happy in your working days? The answer is very few, may be 30 to 50 days and that too if your memory is good or you were actually very happy. So in the span of 50 years of working, only 50 days made you happy ! So what happened in other 18,250 days. Let me tell you what happened in those 18,250 days of working. After you finished studying, you told yourself that "I will be happy, if I get the job," you got the job but instead of getting happy, you were grinded in the work pressure. "I will be happy, if I get promotion," but you never got happy, even if you got promotion. Here I am talking about the 90 % of human population who lives like a goat. If you go through from break up, you will think " I will be happy if I will fall in love again".

I really don't understand this illusionary stories which we tell our mind. I think if one can see happiness in every situation then believe me life is beautiful. Doesn't matter you get less paid job than your friends, doesn't matter if you are not getting promotions, doesn't matter if you are going through a break up, doesn't matter you are failing in something constantly.. But what matters the most is how you perceive it. and how you see yourself after failing many times.. We get sad not because we are not getting success, but what others will think about us that makes us sad.

Remember one thing, those who are judging you, they themselves don't know what they are doing in their lives. And the person who is very happy will never judge anyone. So stop wasting your time and life thinking about what other people thinks, but concentrate on what you think about yourself.. "Don't count your days but make every day count."

Instead of saying that "I will be happy if I get the job," say that "I am happy because I am searching for job," "I am happy because I am working towards promotions" "I am happy because I am looking for another relationship." If you train your mind like this then you will never get disappointed or frustrated in troubles or failures. Think about, you have everything but you are not happy because of many factors.. Where as you have not many things but you are happy and satisfied. Which life is better? It's not about how talented and smart you are.. but about how happy you are. Doesn't matter what you do, you fail or succeed, the important thing is to be happy in every steps of your life. A I S H W A R Y A P I S S A Y

Why we need a social network like bikers club ?

As we all know we have giants in social networking platforms like Facebook and Instagram, riders share their rides on both the platforms then why we need bikers club ? Being a biker myself I found out biking is just not only about rides and bikes but it's a lifestyle which needed to be explored more and for that we not only require social network platform but also we need features which is designed dedicatedly for bikers. I know it's a niche community but this niche community is bigger than any other niche and many tech giants have neglected this community, thats why we need bikers club which provides social network platform including riding features in it.

How does it work and what makes it different than other platforms ? It's simple like other social networking platforms, just download the app and register, create your profile, add your bike which you ride, thats it. but it has few added biking features which makes it different from any other social network platform like SOLO navigation, MyTrip & GroupTrip. Also BC provides periodically PAYTM CASH every month for 10 days, you ride your bike and earn paytm cash in your paytm wallet.

She grew up in a middle class conservative family, where doing anything apart from a 9 to 5 job was unheard of. But she always wanted to go out to do something different.

B I K I N G / R A C I N G

She found her passion in racing as she turned 18, while taking small road trips around her home town of Bangalore, consequently learning how to master the art of riding a bike. This hobby grew into a profession as she won 4 National titles in Road Racing and Rally Championship in 2016 and 2017, and completed in the National Rally Championship in 2018, winning it as well. She also became the first Indian woman to complete in the Baja Aragon World Rally in Spain held in 2018.

She has become the first-ever Indian athlete to win a world title in motorsport on motorcycles. The TVS talent participated at the FIM Baja's World Cup and secured 1st place in the women's category and 2nd in the junior's category. She is the first Indian woman to win 6 National titles in Circuit Racing and Rally Championship combined.

Wake up with a Purpose

Wake up with a purpose Everything has a purpose, there is nothing in this world without a purpose, everything has a meaning and has a reason for their existence in this world or rather in this universe. When I say wake up with a purpose that means understanding the purpose of your existence in this universe. And how would you know your purpose? That's the big question isn't it? To find your purpose, first you have to set up the small small goals in whatever you do and try to abide those goals to achieve them, in the journey to fulfil those goals you will attain the purpose in your life.

Everything starts with you

Majority of us underestimates our abilities, because we believe ourselves less important in this world.

Those who make it big in their lifetime are no different from us, they also face ups and downs and struggles and rejections but what makes them different is their thought process, its not that they have never underestimated themselves ever but its about their perseverance to achieve their goals and thats very important. Failures and rejections are part of life but to overcome that requires persistency.

When you think you can make And these dreams were achieved difference in this world then Small small purposes by someone because he/she 'Yes you can and You will'. Its leads to big purpose ! acted on it. "It seems impossible just you have to believe in before it's done." yourself. For us the world and One cannot take a leap of all the people we know are leopard without taking few steps Don't wait for someone there because we are living. So back, that means you must set everything starts with you. You up your mind to achieve small to help you or act on wake up and you see your small purposes first to lead for family, your friends, colleagues the big big purposes in life. The behalf of you. and everything which you see experiences of small purposes are in existence because you are will give you the strength to We are interdependent on each alive. And when you die, nothing dream big and will help you to other and yes that's true indeed, matters. achieve them. So its essential to but like this quote which says look for the small goals in life. "Charity begins at home", as How to think same way "Changes has to begin with you first." So don't wait for differently to set up Only thinking don't someone to tell you or guide you work, act on it. for your purpose, start working your purpose ? on it and with the time others There are people who only will join you in your purpose There is no term like think thinks but never try to work on because we all are differently, thinking is thinking it because they think reality is interdependent on each other. but implementing on what you different from dream and they think makes you different give up on their dreams. But I If you know and believe in your person because 90 % of the say the world we are living in dream or purpose then you don't people only thinks but never and whatever we are require others opinions because implements. So set up the small experiencing in terms of any its you dream and you are going goals and implement your thing for eg. machines, to fulfil it not others efforts to achieve them. computers, electricity, mobile, internet etc. were the dream in some point of time when these weren't in existence. Don't be afraid of failing.

The fear of failure is the biggest problem or hurdle to achieve your dream because fear shrinks your creativity and compels you to think negative.

We don't usually feel fear of failing but we fear of what others will think about us. And that's the main problem.

When we fear, we fill negativity in our mind, we find excuses for not to work on our dreams or goals, and that's where we give up.

Successful people never gets affected by the failures in fact they embrace them because of what failures can teach, nobody else can, and the experience which failures brings that are priceless. These people never cares for others thought processes because what they can think and perceive which others can't even think.

Keep on trying till you succeed, you will eventually learn from your failures and that will one day give you strength and wisdom to achieve big goals.

"Neither boast yourself in success, nor underestimate in failures."

Every day is a new day.

We are here in this world for a certain years, so rather wasting your time on what went wrong and what others think about you, you should think about what you can do something new or creative which can help you to progress.

So instead of judging others and yourself you should learn from the experiences of yesterday and implement it on today. Never judge yourself with the outcome of your goals. Having dream is the good thing but taking action on your dreams with persistency to achieve them is the best thing one can do. But never get affected with the outcome it brings. Life without purpose is life wasted. You are also very important in this world then believe me you will make wonders in life. This There is nothing in this world which is impossible thought process will eventually give you success. to achieve, it's just we don't try enough to achieve them. Humans have so much of potentials that Be committed to your purpose but never they can do and get whatever they wish for, but give up. you have to have a goals and purpose, without it life is wasted. Thinking and working towards your purpose is not enough but having committed to your purpose is Wake up with the hope and determination. more important than anything else because in the journey of fulfilling your purpose you will face Everyday is not same, some days are good and certain situations where you will re-think about some are bad, it all about your perception but it is your set goals but that's the crucial moment and it essential for you to wake up with the hope and is that time when you should focus more and not determinations that you will at least take one step get deviated and if needed you should alter your ahead today to achieve your set purpose. efforts, change your strategies but never give up. Make a habit "Anybody can achieve success but only We are the intelligent breed amongst all the courageous can achieve and build an empire animals and animals are living for to survive but we are here for to make the world beautiful, If we and to build an empire on has to have the think and make ourselves habituated with this purpose and self beliefs." kind of thought and make yourself think that

"Talent wins races, but teamwork wins championships"

MID RACE SEASON 2017

I broke my collar bone during practice and the first thing that came to my mind was my race that was coming up in 10 days where I was leading the championship in both circuit racing and rally. Within a couple of hours of the accident I had a surgery where they put one plate and 7 screws.

This was the first time I had broken a bone and had no clue that how I would recover. But my coach at the time Jeeva and Anil from Apex racing academy and my family were by my side through all this and about two days after the surgery we started rehab and about a week later we were racing and we won the championship that year. This incident taught me to NEVER GIVE UP and showed me how team work could achieve anything.
